So, new reports say that Real World: Brooklyn may not be all skinny jeans and hip hangs in Williamsburg like the whole world expected. According to an article in today's New York Times, the show's producers are looking further south, to downtown Brooklyn, for the new home of seven strangers picked to have their lives taped. Turns out even the locals think that might be a bad idea:

Danny Perez, 37, works at Gallery Religious Supplies, which sells, besides the anti-jinx soap, candles and bath salts that claim to attract money or love and dispel evil. He knows the neighborhood as well as anyone … 'They'd be jeopardizing their safety,' he said of the cast members. 'Too many side streets.'

And will the cameras irritate the natives? Only some of them, says one barbershop owner: "It will annoy people that are wanted …"

As a fairly new Brooklyn resident myself, the best piece of advice I can give the new cast members, whoever they may be, is what was screamed at me by three teenage boys on my second week here: "Don't get blam blammed, you fucking bitch!"
